Several rappers were present in downtown Manhattan yesterday – unfortunately it wasn’t for a hip-hop concert.
Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Remy Ma, and Ja Rule were all in attendance at Manhattan Criminal Court for separate cases ranging from assault to weapons possession.
In each case, the rappers were simply given a new court date.
Busta Rhymes, 35, was ordered to return on Jan. 23 when jury selection will begin for his trial on assault and drunken driving charges. Busta is accused of kicking a fan, punching a former employee, driving drunk, and driving with a suspended license.
Ja Rule, 31, was told to come back on Dec. 5 to face weapons charges. He was arrested in July 2006 when police officers pulled him over after a concert, and they allegedly found a loaded .40-caliber handgun in his vehicle.
Lil Wayne, 24, was ordered to reappear in court on Feb. 25, after he was arrested for illegal gun possession following a performance at the same concert as Ja Rule.
Finally Remy Ma, 26, is charged with assault and witness tampering over the alleged shooting of a childhood friend over money and then trying to intimidate her. She was told to come back to court on Dec. 5.
Remy Ma, who has recorded songs with Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne, said she knew all the other rappers who were in court and considered them friends.
